Mr. LANGEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to express my strong support for the work being done to crack down on Wall Street and enact reform to prevent another economic collapse. We absolutely must create an environment in which corporations are held accountable to shareholders, employees, and customers.

That's why I plan to reintroduce the Federal Employees Responsible Investment Act, to add a socially responsible investment option to the Thrift Savings Plan. Making an investment in companies that are committed to corporate responsibility will have a positive impact on our financial system, and empower individuals to reward companies that share their values.

We absolutely must do everything in our power to move our economy forward, and I urge all my colleagues to support good corporate governance and legislation that ends Wall Street's gambling with our hard-earned dollars.
